"The sad truth is, it's real easy to get all worked into a lather after a tragedy and start acting from blind panic. Especially when we can limit our panic to 'them,' i.e., Asians, Middle Easterners, Goths, whoever. Then people get sort of embarassed and go 'sorry about that citizen, but no harm done. Better safe than sorry, eh?'

"But harm is done. Incalculable harm every time we treat our vital due process and constitutional protections as a joke."

When re-starting a web browser, it is rather nice, in the event that something as un-nice as an unexpected termination (crash) has already occurred, to be presented the choice of starting fresh or picking up where you left off and reloading all the windows and tabs one had previously had open.

'Twould be even nicer to be given the option of reloading/restoring all previously open web pages except that one over there that I think was causing the problem that led to the crash in the first place. Admittedly, scrolling through as ginormous a list of open pages as I would usually face could get a little tedious, but watching the browser start up and hang in the same place o'er and o'er, or to have it crash each time I try to close the suspected page before it finishes loading, is somewhat more unpleasant.

(In this case, I'm using Firefox (well, "Iceweasel", since it's Debian), but this goes on my wishlist for Opera as well, doggone it.)
